Last night we gathered on a ship
Our tribe and all our friends,
And sailed for distant galaxies
To find a peaceful land.
The stars received us as we went
Our lives passed through their gaze
We sailed between their fire and light
Our eyes were all ablaze.
Until we reached a port of sorts
With meadows near a sun
And joyous children running round
Who welcomed us at once.
They ruled this planet with a light
That shone from their deep eyes.
And no one wanted anything
Nor did they fear to die.
For there upon a mountain top
Far as the eye could see
There was one child who filled the world
With love and mysteries.
And when the children grew too tall
No longer children were
They climbed the mountain to the boy
And left through heaven’s door.
We were entranced and climbed so high
To see his glowing face.
He smiled our way
The mountain sang
We died in his embrace.
And then I woke amid the sails
That guide my ship at night
And prayed that I would see again
This boy who was the light.

Hi David – now that is my kind of scene and poem! Ah the perfect place for this time of the year! Great poem too
P.S. is there something wrong with the date? It showed up as May?
P.P.S. I would love to hear your thoughts on the LaraBars as to how you like them and which ones you prefer the LaraBars or the Weil Bars?
Evitas last blog post..Book Review: Sugarettes – Sugar Addiction and Your Health
Hi Evita. I used a plugin to move this post forward for a day or so. It will go back to May after I “unplug” it. It doesn’t seem to cause as much google confusion this way.
I like the ones I just bought better. The Larabar. They have a more enjoyable taste and texture. And they were less expensive too. Plus they have a neat little logo on the package “real food that creates an unmistakable feeling of health and well-being, often accompanied by an inexplicable and irresistible urge to, well, hum. ”
Now that’s pretty funny. Haven’t heard that one before.
This is a wonderful poem, David! I love it, I really do…!
